Main duties of the job

We pride ourselves in the delivery of a State-of-the-Art service, where our patients are at the core of a strategy of delivering high quality individualised treatments in a culturally sensitive, dignified and compassionate environment.

We work in close collaboration with the Vascular Surgeons and are currently involved in commencing dedicated IR Clinics.

Workload is varied, but largely consists of vascular intervention, including a busy endovascular aortic stent program.

We also work closely with the Gynaecologists in offering a UFE service.

We provide a 24-hour interventional service, with dedicated interventional nurses and radiographers across site. Our Angiographic suite is based within the main theatre complex, with the latest angiographic bi-plane unit from Siemens. The on-call IR rota covers interventional emergencies ranging from acute gastro-intestinal bleeds to RTA trauma intervention as well as PPH.

We have recently included pulmonary thrombectomy as in hours service and we have plans to include renal access fistula work as well as RFA intervention in near future.

About us

We're an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and our patients are happy with. We're no longer in special measures we've opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH) and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, was named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal in 2024.

We operate from two main sites - KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We're campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A& E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care.

Our patients are benefitting from our Women's Health Hubin Ilford an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hubin Hornchurch.

These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 94,000 scans a year.

The majority of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprentice programmes. We're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.

We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients
